Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 large English cucumber or 2 garden cucumbers (about 3 cups
- when chopped)
- ½ cup of lime juice (about 4-6 limes (depending on the size)
- or juiciness of the limes)
- 6 cups of water
- 2/3 cups of sugar
- 3 cups of ice cubes
- 3 small sprigs of mint
- Some lime & cucumber slices to garnish the drink.
Instruction
- Peel the cucumbers and remove the seeds using a spoon. Chop cucumbers into chunks and place into the blender. Gather all the ingredients to prepare the agua fresca.
- Add the 2/3 cups of sugar, ½ cup of lime juice, and three cups of the water into the blender. Process for a couple of minutes, until everything has been processed into a smooth mixture.
- Now, using a strainer, pour the mixture into a large-sized pitcher. In this case, I’m using my Rubbermaid pitcher. Press down on the strainer with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Afterwards, discard those residues.
- Add the remaining 3 cups of water and 2 cups of ice cubes, then stir and refrigerate for an hour. To serve, place some slices of lime or cucumber in the glasses and garnish with a few mint leaves. Enjoy!
